Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in snipe/snipe-it (CVE-2026-61807)
Summary
Cross-site scripting in snipe/snipe-it (CVE-2026-61807). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via b224cc636c6780386e3f73f03d1171f52ab4c37a. Mitigation: upgrade to 8.6.2 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Impact
The table component derives data-selected-count-id from the component $name value. On manufacturer and supplier detail pages, stored manufacturer or supplier names are passed into affected table components as that name value. The client-side JavaScript later reads the browser-decoded data-selected-count-id, uses it as a selector, and concatenates countId.substring(1) directly into an HTML string passed to jQuery .after().
Affected commit:
b224cc636c6780386e3f73f03d1171f52ab4c37a
Example payload for a manufacturer or supplier name:
x[foo=">"]>
The issue appears to involve the following flow:
Stored supplier/manufacturer name
-> table component data-selected-count-id
-> browser decodes the attribute
-> JavaScript reads countId
-> countId is used as a selector
-> countId.substring(1) is concatenated into HTML
-> jQuery .after() inserts attacker-controlled markup
-> JavaScript executes in the victim's browser
Potential impact includes arbitrary JavaScript execution in the browser of an authenticated Snipe-IT user who views the affected supplier or manufacturer detail page. If the victim has elevated privileges, this may allow access to data or actions available to that user's session.
